title: Mendelson's syndrome
text: Mendelson's syndrome, named in 1946 for American obstetrician and cardiologist Curtis Lester Mendelson, is a form of chemical pneumonitis or aspiration pneumonitis caused by aspiration of stomach contents during anaesthesia in childbirth. This complication of anaesthesia led, in part, to the longstanding nil per os recommendation for women in labour.
